Will's Full of Blarney

Funnyman Will Ferrell was hononred in Dublin yesterday with the James Joyce Award, presented to him by the University College of Dublin's Literary and Historical Society for his outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry. Will, whose family's roots are in Ireland's County Longford, joked with a packed house of 1,500 at the ceremony. During his 40 minute speech, Will, clad in rugby gear, joked, "I'm so committed to my Irish roots that I intend to continue wearing this outfit upon my return to the US. I will also continue to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Will it be dangerous? Yes. Is it illegal? Highly. But that's just how committed I am."
